Just remembered those old temperature sensitive Global Hypercolour T-shirts from about 10 years ago. Anyone know if you can still buy them?

Cheers. :)

I want multi-coloured armpits too.

I have no idea where to get them, didn't the company go bump a while back?

I was in Barbados last year and came across a shop selling t-shirts which changed colour in the sun (well, the logos on them did) or more precisely UV rays.

This shop also sold Sunglasses (the rims changed colour), nail varnish, hair clips and I'm sure a few other bits and pieces.

I started talking to the shop owner about Global Hypercolour T-Shirts which did a similar type thing, but with heat and he said that the stuff that he was selling was made by the same people who made Global Hypercolour. They are based somewhere in the UK, but I can't remember where.

He told me that the big failing with the Global Hypercolour stuff was that after a few washes they stopped working (as everyone who had one will remember) but said that this had now been fixed with the release of this new range of merchandise.

Believe it or not, my t-shirt still works :)

I still have a 'GLO by Global' T-shirt which was made by them but it glows in the dark instead of changing colour :D

Just bringing this back from the dead....

So, you've had 12 months or so to find them - anyone seen any hypercolour t-shirts? :)

Global went bust a long time ago.

But surely the technology must be available for other companies to use. Or did Global Hypercolour hold all the patents, etc?

:confused:

They would have held all the patents (incredibly expensive to resurrect too)

ironing seemed to stop them working too after a few washes
